"Must have" guns.
 

List some of the rifles, shotguns, MLs, or handguns, you think every gun owner, & hunter should own, at least one of.

Edit- actually, what I mean is, what makes, models and calibers, are so well designed, and useful, anyones collection would incomplete with out em?

A good .22 Lr for small game and low cost fun/practice.
A centerfire that's best suited to handle the big critters you actually hunt rather than one that can handle anything and everything on the face of the earth.
A 12g pump action (two barrel combo) with several chokes.

If I was limited, and thank the Good Lord I'm not, I would have to say a 12 ga shotgun, a 30-06 bolt action and a .22 rimfire would be my choice for a minimum arsenal. If I had to include a handgun into this it would be a revolver in .357 with a 4 or 6" barrel.
My picks are solely based on versitility. There are better choices for different areas, but for all north america, these would be my picks.

if ya live in texas...gotta have an ol' wood stock, beat ta hell..iron sighted..30-30

I would say that you need a few fireams just to get by with.
Kimber-22lr.
Savage Accu-Triger/Accu-Stock rifle chambered in 223
Remington Model-700 30-06
Remington 870 Wing Master 12-gauge shotgun
Kimber Model 1911 45-acp pistol.

I would also add to the list if it fits into the budget a custom made rifle. I myself would like a Cooper or Nosler custom rifle chambered in 338-06 or 280-A.I.

Remington 870 12ga with smooth bore and rifled slug barrel
Winchester 1300 20ga
Thompson Center Omega .50cal M/L
Marlin Model 60 .22lr
HiPoint 995 9mm carbine
Kimber 84m .243
Remington 700 30-06

Basic poor man's gun cabinet.

Ruger 10/22 there should be a law
Maybe an 870
Winchester 70 or Rem 700 in a good 30 caliber
for a varmint gun.....everyone should own a 22-250 or 2220 swift, you pick the action, I lean twords a Ruger M77

Ill go with:
-a mandatory set of a 870 26"- 28", and a 700/leupold 24-30 cal
-Defiantly a 10-22 or model 60
-a s&w 629, or super BH, or redhawk, in 44mag
- An AR15 223, or AK variant, or SKS 7.62
- an old ithaca 37 or, winchester 12, or browning auto5 for nostalgia
- everyone should have a muzzleloader , I prefer the savage 10ml.

Any pre 64 Mod 70 that I don't already have.....
